Anyone record HO-68 pass around 0040 UTC tonight?

Hi! I had a problem with my digital recorder during the HO-68 pass around 0040 UTC this evening. I am going through what little audio it captured trying to make my log entries, and I know I am not remembering every call I worked. If you have a recording of this pass and can e-mail me a copy of that recording, I would appreciate that. The recordings for the two earlier passes on SO-50 and FO-29 I worked at the Indiana/Ohio state line, along with the other passes I worked on Thursday and Friday, are OK. Thanks in advance, and 73!

Hey all, Problem solved. It turns out that the AMSAT kep data was bad. I downloaded the Celestrak keps and all works great. Now, i need to figure out how keep my kep data file accurate. Thank you all for your suggestions, and Erich for the customer service. Steve KI6OQU

>> ... eBay auction ... unique AMSAT item ... spirited bidding battle ... C'mon, fellow sat folks. This is another unique AMSAT item up on eBay. (Remember the prototype AO-40 mounting bracket auction? I have it!) Not only will your bid/donation DOUBLE with the DARA pledge ... but your CPA will probably advise you that there's a tax incentive for next April 15 by purchasing this item! Expecting spirited bidding, Clint (sole bidder as of today) Bradford

Hi Reid, Unfotunately we shut down operations at Dayton when the show closed for the day at 2100Z. Check for mutual windows tomorrow on the vrious sats in the morning passes (between 1200Z and 1600Z). Hopefully W5IU will be able to work you, and anyone else on the birds).

Hi Reid, I am not at Dayton, but the callsign being used is W5IU and the operator is Keith. He has been on HO-68 a couple of times. So, if you hear that call, that is Dayton the demo station. 73 de Angelo PS: Hope to work you myself as well. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Reid Crowe" <reid.crowe(a)gmail.com> > To: <amsat-bb(a)amsat.org> > Sent: Saturday, May 15, 2010 3:56 PM > Subject: [amsat-bb] Sked with someone at Dayton > > >>I will be on HO-68 tonight at 0040 UTC and 0231 UTC from GP47, >> Kangerlussuaq Greenland.

I will be on HO-68 tonight at 0040 UTC and 0231 UTC from GP47, Kangerlussuaq Greenland. Is there anyone at Dayton that will be able to make one of those passes? I'd really like to work someone who is there right now. 73, Reid OX/N0RC
